Democratic Leader Blasts ‘Do-nothing, Extreme Republican Congress’
House plans soon to open Biden impeachment inquiry
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is criticizing his Republican counterparts for failing to tackle issues important to the American people while preparing to open an impeachment inquiry into President Biden based on unsubstantiated allegations and unproven theories.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said that Republicans intend soon to open an impeachment inquiry into Biden on accusations of corruption and bribery with his son, Hunter Biden, despite the fact that those allegations have never been substantiated or evidence provided for them.
Jeffries, who took over leading House Democrats this year, took McCarthy and other Republicans to task for focusing on baseless pursuit of the president while failing to legislate on issues of national concern.
“Well, throughout this year, the American people have been forced to deal with a do-nothing extreme Republican Congress that has done nothing to make a difference in the economy, nothing to make a difference with respect to job creation, nothing as it relates to health care affordability, nothing as to relates to inflation, nothing as it relates to public safety,” Jeffries said. “They have nothing to show for their majority throughout the year. So, as a natural consequence of that, they just continue to take orders from Donald Trump, their puppet master-in-chief, who has directed them to persecute and to go after Joe Biden, which may take the form of an illegitimate impeachment inquiry.”
Meanwhile, Biden will continue to do the work as president while the Republican Party is driven by fringe personalities, Jeffries said.
“The American people know, fundamentally, that Joe Biden is a good and decent man who dedicated his life to public service and will continue to serve the people honorably and admirably,” the congressman said. “On the other hand, you have got people like Marjorie Taylor Greene and George Santos and others who are running the show amongst the House Republican majority. It’s an extreme group of people who aren’t really trying to improve the lives of the American people.
“As Democrats, we are going to continue to put people over politics and to focus on lowering costs, better paying jobs, safer communities, growing the economy for the middle class and delivering,” Jeffries added. “That will be a clear contrast that will be available us to to present to the American people in November of 2024.”
